۞ What are they asking each other about? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 About which they differ? 3 Indeed, they shall know! 4 And once again: Nay, but in time they will come to understand! 5 Have We not made the earth an even expanse? 6 And the mountains as pegs? 7 And We have created you in pairs; 8 made sleep for you to rest, 9 and made the night a covering, 10 And We have made the day for seeking livelihood. 11 We raised over you several secure (skies), 12 And made [therein] a burning lamp 13 and have sent down out of the rainclouds water cascading 14 so that We may bring forth thereby grain and a variety of plants, 15 And dense gardens. 16 Verily the Day of Decision is a time appointed. 17 the day the Trumpet is blown, and you shall come in troops, 18 and the heaven shall be opened, and become gates, 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Indeed hell is lying in ambush. 21 It will be a place of return 22 They will tarry therein for ages. 23 They will neither taste anything cool in it, nor anything to drink. 24 Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges. 25 Recompense fitted! 26 Behold, they were not expecting to be called to account, 27 And they belied Our revelations with strong belying. 28 We have kept account of everything in a book. 29 (They will be told), "Suffer, We shall only increase the torment for you". 30
